Foods that Lower Your Sex Drive

Coffee: Your morning cup of joe might jump start your day, but it definitely won't rev up your sultry night. Acocoring to Pasquella, caffeine can be a serious stressor on the body, causing decreased cortisol and severe hormone imbalances. This, coupled with the sudden drop in neurological capacity caused by a caffeine crash can lead to serious loin dysfunction.

Tonic: Speaking of alcohol, if you're drinking a gin and tonic, it may be a double whammy on your sex drive. The bubbly liquid's slightly bitter flavor (that we hope you aren't too found of) comes from quinine, a naturally occurring chemical compound from the bark of the cinchona tree and a powerful painkiller. This analgesic effect suppresses the activity of the hypothalamus, the area of the brain that regulates hormones such as testosterone. Luckily, we've got soda water as a sexy substitute!

Alcohol: While having a few drinks may loosen your inhibitions the night of, drinking on the regular can cause a chemical reaction in the body that impairs the nervous system and greatly inhibits the manufacturing of testosterone, explains Pasquella. Plus, that cocktail may give you the nerve to talk to the most attractive man in the room-but when it comes to actual bedroom activity, booze will make you less sensitive and drowsy. Off the sauce, all sex can be as good as morning sex.
